Nets Land Keon Ellis for Defense | Brooklyn Nets News
Description
The Brooklyn Nets just pulled off a savvy move, landing guard Keon Ellis in a two-year, $18M deal with a mutual option — perfect for flexibility. Ellis, a three-and-D specialist known for his elite perimeter defense and 35.5% shooting from deep, was acquired via a three-team trade that sent De’Andre Hunter to Sacramento. In 29 games last season, he averaged 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 25 minutes, fitting Brooklyn’s need for a low-usage, high-effort defender to complement ball-dominant stars like Michael Porter Jr. and Julius Randle. With a contract that’s team-friendly and a role that suits his game, this signing could be a major upgrade for the Nets’ depth and defensive versatility.
